Taiko no Tatsujin series

Did a search but there seems to be no thread yet. So, who plays this series?

I love the songs of the 2nd game, but I love the gameplay of the 3rd. It's like Taiko pokemon, lol.

I will admit that I had an eargasm when I found out they had the totoro and ponyo songs in the third game. But the songs for the second one were more epic. I mean, taiko to Zankoku na Tenshi no Te-ze? YES PLEASE.
